Essence of theRoguelite Protagonist

This Essence tastes of blood and sweat. It is capped with a child safety lock that is very hard to open, and is a deep red color. Once drunk, the user gains the following abilities:

• If killed or at will, the user may respawn at the start of his current task. If in a training dimension, you are returned to the start of it.

• The ability to create training dimensions based a location they are currently at, or a piece of fiction. If a location doesn't have a unifying theme, such as a university, they must choose one aspect to focus on. For instance, you would need to select one of the majors offered at the university as the theme of the training dimension.

• Once created, you can enter and leave a training dimension at will.

• Once created, you gain a small selection of gear or abilities based on the training dimension's theme which are initially low powered.

• Leaving the starting area of the dimension, you are confronted with monsters or tasks related to the theme that ramp in difficulty the further you travel, gathering currency for overcoming them.

• You are offered major upgrades to your abilities to help you along your way as you travel through the dimension, though these fade when you return to the start of the dimension, voluntarily or no.

• This currency can be used at the start to upgrade the gear and abilities from this training dungeon in small but significant ways making further runs easier.

• You can use any abilities or gear gained in the real world. Gear or items can be summoned or banished at will. If they'd normally require energy or supplies to work properly, such as a bow, gun, or vehicle, they generate it automatically, at most requiring you to mime reloading or refilling them. If destroyed, you can summon a fresh copy of them.

• You can also create a challenge dimension for a task that you are currently facing. These do not offer new abilities or gear, but you have access to any gear and abilities you have gained from training dimensions. They also have a definite end, unlike the training dimensions, and once the final obstacle is overcome, whatever task you created it for will be successfully completed. The length and difficultly of the dimension scales with how hard the task selected would be. No time passes in the outside world while in a challenge dimension, but once you succeed or give up, an amount of time appropriate to whatever task you were facing will have passed. Any area in the real world that would be affected by the task is blocked off while you are in the dimension. Tasks that would normally be impossible can be selected, but be prepared for a truly epic challenge.
